Fort Worth, Texas UFO Sightings in 2001

Full Report Text:

Fast, dull-white light multiplies and changes formation multiple time. What follows is exactly as witnessed on the night of September 8, 2001. My wife and I were out on our balcony at our apartment complex.

We have somewhat of a limited view of the eastern sky from this vantage point due to trees, however, I was watching a distant storm cloud moving northeast. It had my attention because flashes of cloud lightning were brillantly illuminating the cloud itself. These ended and while talking with my wife I noticed a dull white light moving at a very high rate of speed, seemingly in the cloud itself.

It's speed is what first drew my attention. Being in Fort Worth, approximately 15 miles from DFW airport, there's quite a lot of air traffic in the area. But this was moving faster than even low flying aircraft move in the night skies.

At first I thought the light was within the cloud itself, moving out of it. Although now upon reflection that couldn't of been the case: this storm cloud was much too far off to see such a light. And indeed it wasn't behind or in the cloud.

Upon reaching the cloud's edge and emerging from it, I realized the light had the same dull white appearance as it did while seemingly in the cloud. The light had to have been much closer to us than the storm cloud. At that point I stood up from the rocking chair I was seated at, and moved quickly to the railing to get a better look.

At that time, the object - or light- which originally was singular became a group of three or four lights of similar hue and size. No blinking or FAA lights could be seen. These were not airplanes.

They continued moving in what seemed to be either a diamond or a square formation. Then at that time, and, of course, this is what really peaked my interest, the object(s) split into a "V" formation. Or, if not trully a "V," then a formation shaped similar to a banana with a slight to moderate curve in it.

Following this, the object(s) distanced themselves from one another, still in the same formation, but spaced apart more. (And I should mention at this point that e! very cha nge in formation occurred almost instantaneously. I could see the movement, but it was faster that anything I have ever before seen in the sky.

) Still moving at what was a southeasternly direction, a single light of the same brightness, shape and size moved into the formation from ahead. It moved into the formation seemingly at the same rate of speed as the other object(s) that were moving toward it. This independent light joined the formation at dead center or perhaps slightly below this point.

Then the object(s) regrouped into the box or diamond formation and slowed significantly, if not stopping. Together they rose in altitude slightly before again forming the tight "V-banana" formation. At this time the object(s) were about to enter the blind spot of my balcony so I ran outside, downstairs, and around my apartment building in an attempt to gain view unobstructed by foilage.

However, because of the strong light from the rising moon and the faint, dull light of the object(s) themselves I was unable to again locate it. And realizing the speed at which the object(s) seemed to be moving at, I knew the sighting was over. Upon joining me downstairs, by wife did say before she lost sight of the object(s) the tight "V-banana" formation loosened up.

Again, this occurred at approximately 00:30-00:35 hours on September 8, 2001. The weather conditions were windy and partly cloudy with the wind and clouds moving in a northeasternly direction. And while the sky was cloudy, an equal amount of clear, visible sky was to be seen.

The object(s) moved in a southeasternly direction which, from where I live, would put in on a crow's flight toward Arlington, Texas. I am 26 years of age, college-educated, with a degree in English. Struggling as a writer, I spend my days earning a living as a salesman for a contracting company.

My wife is one year younger than me and is a 6th grade teacher.

Circular light seen zig-zagging over Ft Worth on Sept. 2nd, 2001 While walking with my wife in Foster parkk this morning, I observed a circular white light moving across the sky in a southeasterly direction for approximately 15 seconds. It appeared to have a constant speed and at one point zigzagged (i.

e. moved at the same relative speed to the East, then to the South, and then to the Southeast), and then proceeded in the direction that it was taking when I first observed it. I finally got my wife's attention and she observed the same object for approximately 5 seconds.

We both watched it suddenly disappear. It did not have any characteristics belonging to those of a meteorite which I have seen many times. I have never seen anything like this in my entire life.

Ring-shaped object with lights around the outside flying over Fort Worth. My friend and I were driving home from a concert. It was about 12:20am when I looked up and saw what looked like a big star.

I watched it for about two minutes and I realized that it was moving. Then I thought maybe it was a plane but there were no blinking lights. I told my friend to look at it and neither of us could explain it.

It was pretty high up so we really couldn't see the exact shape. When it passed over our car, we could see that it was a ring of about 14 small lights. It was moving at a moderate speed and it was not a plane.

After it passed over us, we couldn't see it anymore.

Classical UFO seen to have 'dropped' from 11 o'clock high--hover in-place--then whisked off to the due NNW. Fort Worth, Tx. Driving north on 831 (Crowley Road)--just crossing the Fort Worth city limits from Crowley, Texas: the sky was light gray with patchy clouds in this area, as to the south, west and east: there was a moderate, steady rain and darkened skies.

Temp: 54 F. Wind: 3 mph out of ENE. The rain had stopped at this point in time and in distance of my travel by car, and suddenly: I was 'compelled' to look up to the due NNW (330 degrees) whereupon a 'classical' UFO of a dull, silvery shade of color dropped straight down from 11 o'clock high to 9 o'clock high and loomed in-place for only a few seconds--just long enough for me to see it, then it whisked away in a straight line to the due NNW at incredable speed.

There was no 'contrail,' nor 'tail' of smoke/vapor of any sort. The 'UFO' appeared 'exactly' as the image videotaped by me on June 11, 1995, as a 'freeze-frame' can be seen at: http://((URL deleted)).org This was a delightfully, awesome sighting--as I did feel compelled to look up--right at it--then it zipped away .

I affirm that the above is true and a correct accounting of this stated sighting. ((name deleted. ((NUFORC Note: We have spoken with the source on several occasions, and he has at least one video record of something interesting, which he has been kind enough to share with our Center.

PD.
